Title: Sports Illustrated's top 10 MMA fighters of all time list
Post by: *ChuteBoxe* on October 03, 2009, 01:45:25 PM
10) Randy Couture
Plenty of people would disagree with his inclusion. A record of 16-10 doesn't sit well. But every fight has been a tough one, and he's the ultimate competitor.

9) Chuck Liddell
MMA's first crossover star in the U.S., and a pretty darn good light heavyweight.

8) Mark Coleman
His dominance marked a shift in eras. In his prime there may not have been a more vicious heavyweight.

7) Kazushi Sakuraba
Improvisation and artistry in the ring at its best.

6) Dan Henderson
Just look at his record. He's held virtually every title you could want. And he's done it for over a decade.


5) Georges St. Pierre
Next-gen talent, focus, training. He could top this list eventually.

4) Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Changed the perception of how heavyweights can fight. One of the toughest men in the sport.

3) Matt Hughes
The dominant welterweight during MMA's first 15 years. GSP will pass him.

2) Anderson Silva
So good he can look bored. He embarrasses excellent fighters.

1) Fedor Emelianenko
He's the best fighter I've ever seen in MMA.

I agree with the list almost 100%.

I've never seen Sakubara fight and I am wary about putting Coture or Lidell on this list, especially Lidell.

Can't put Hughes above GSP

when Hughes beat Gsp it was a pretty close fight

GSP blew matt out twice

Shammy should be on there too..even though he hung around way too long.  In his prime was a beast.
